While players won't like the answer, the only way to definitively change one's MyPlayer name in NBA 2K22 is by starting MyCareer from scratch and creating a new save file. Many players have already invested too much time, VC, or both into MyCareer to start fresh and are looking for an alternative. Fortunately, one does exist though it's not nearly as comprehensive of a change as the first option.

Here is where players can change what they are called and, as an additional bonus, can also change their MyPlayer's social media handle too.
